The United Kingdom's House of Lords EU Sub-Committee on External Affairs published a report ‘The EU and Russia: before and beyond the crisis in Ukraine’ on the 20 February 2015. The EU must ratchet up sanctions on Russia if the situation in Ukraine worsens, the Lords report warned. The report also stated that Russia’s action in a sovereign territory was unacceptable, but that in the run-up to the crisis, mistakes were made by the EU as well as Russia. The Committee also stressed the need for the EU to look beyond the present crisis by undertaking work on the terms on which its relationship with Russia should be conducted in the long term. The report highlights areas where the EU might be able to work with Russia to develop a genuinely collaborative relationship. |
